[Eb] I'm
[Db] going [Ab] to [Gb] play a little [Eb] bit of Carry On.
[Ebm]
[Ab]
[Eb]
[Db]
[Ab] Carry On, [Bbm]
Love [Ab] is coming, [Bbm] Love [Ab] is coming to us [Eb]
all.
Ok, whatever note this is, I suspect it's lower than E and maybe slightly up from D.
I don't know, but it's that note.
Your low E string goes to that.
And then the A string gets tuned to the same thing.
The D string gets tuned to the same thing.
G gets tuned to the same thing.
So they're all four in a row.
And then your B string gets tuned to this.
And then your high E is the same as all those other ones.
If it were in E, if that were in E, it would be E, E, E, E, B, E.
So they're all the same except for that.
[G] Now, it would be [Eb] E, E, B, E, except everything tuned down.
I don't know what that number is, [F] but that's where they are for this one.
[Gb] It's the same [Em]
intervals for Love the One You're [Gb] With and Sweet Judy Blue Eyes.
But I don't know [Eb] that they're all actually tuned to the same pitch, but it's the same.
It's a version of that, either slightly up or down from that.
All of those three.
So the main riff.
That's the high E string is [Ab] four or five.
[Eb]
And it's B string of five.
So
[Ab]
[Gb] [Eb]
that's up here at ten.
Now, since these are most of them are the same, [Dm] it doesn't really matter which two of [Cm] these four [N] you cover, really.
But I do it as the low E string at ten, G string at ten, and B at ten.
[Eb] Everything else up.
[Ab]
So five [Gb] to three.
[Eb] And then that.
[Ab]
[Gb] [Eb]
So that's seven,
[Gb] three, [Eb]
ten, [Abm]
five.
[Eb] [Gb]
[Ab]
[Eb]
You can tell, you know, if you do that, that [E] tuning, it sounds like five [Ab] guitars, you know, all at once.
So you can get a, you could do this at a sort of an unplugged [Eb] bar gig.
[Ab]
[Gb] [Eb]
[Ab] [Gb]
[Eb]
[Gb]
[Eb] [Ab]
[Eb]
That's really all there
